They say when you turn your passion into your profession, you don?t have to work a day. Well, that has been my story. Grew up as a pro wrestling fan during WWE?s famed Attitude Era. It took the epic Ladder Match between Hardy Boyz, Edge &amp; Christian and The Dudley Boyz to convert me to a wrestling fan for life time and here we are. I would have bitten your hand off if you would?ve told me back then that I will covering my favorite form of sports entertainment for a living.

EssentiallySports was the beginning of this journey as a writer and I had a shining moment of personal and professional glory when The Bloodline?s Wise Man, Paul Heyman shared my article on his Instagram story. Since then I have taken up the role of an editor at ES for WWE division and continue to provide coverage of WWE?s biggest events as well as marquee PPVs from AEW. I?ve had the chance to cover events such as WrestleMania 39, SummerSlam, AEW?s All In and much more. Pro wrestling is on my mind 24x7 and when I have time away from work, I like to get into fantasy fiction reading and war documentaries online. You can find me tweeting about pro wrestling @blackbeard__11 on X and on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/sherjeel-malik-70bb1a235

New York-based wrestling promotion, Major League Wrestling has released a poster for their upcoming live PPV, Kings of Colosseum. The poster has nothing unusual in it, barring the presence of former WWE star Matt Riddle who will face another one of Roman Reigns’ cousins. It will be a continuation of Riddle’s constant battles against The Anoa’i family which now includes a fifth member on the list. MATT RIDDLE CONTINUES HIS BATTLE AGAINST THE ANOA’I FAMILY After being fired by WWE for controversial behavior outside of the WWE ring, Riddle is set to appear again as he carries on his battle against The Anoa’i family. He has faced Roman Reigns, The Usos, and Solo Sikoa during his stay in WWE. Although the official website of MLW for the event does not include Matt Riddle’s name, a poster was shared on X by William Gardner, a sports journalist, on December 16th that features him. In the new poster, he could be seen alongside former MLW World Heavyweight Champion Jacob Fatu, thus indicating a match against the Samoan machine. Trained by his uncle and former WWE superstar Rikishi, Fatu joined MLW in 2019. Since then, he has won the MLW National Openweight Championship and MLW World Heavyweight Championship. He also holds the record for the longest title reign at 819 days. [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Jacob-Fatu.jpg] The poster also states that the PPV will take place at 2300 Arena, Philadelphia on January 6th with the show expected to start at 6 PM local time. Fans can buy tickets from TIX, starting at $15, or watch it on FITE+ or watch the TV tapings on beIN Sports channel. The show also features MLW World Champion Alex Kane (w/Mr. Thomas) taking on Richard Holiday (w/Saint Laurent). 

After being fired for controversial behavior, Matt Riddle continues his battle against the Anoa'i family outside of WWE.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Roman Reigns: 2024 Net Worth, Stats, Salary, Wife and More</strong></h2>
Roman Reigns is one of the biggest faces to emerge from WWE in the past few years. H<span style="font-weight: 400">e is the current and the longest reigning Undisputed WWE Universal champion and is notorious for leading one of wrestling's most storied families called The Bloodline. </span>Despite receiving mixed fan reviews, the wrestler is considered a favorite of Vince McMahon. As a result, he is one of the most heavily pushed stars in the company. Roman has wrestling running in his family, with his father Sika Anoa'i, and late brother Rosey being former wrestlers. His cousins Umaga, Yokozuna, Rikishi, and <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/the-rock/">Dwayne Johnson</a> were all prominent wrestlers in the company.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Roman Reignsâ€™ Early Life</strong></h2>
Roman Reigns, whose actual name is Leati Joseph Anoa'i, was born on May 25, 1985, in Pensacola, Florida to Leati â€˜Sikaâ€™ AnoaÊ»i and Patricia Anoa'i. Reigns' father lived in the Leone village of American Samoa before moving to San Fransisco, California while his mother hails from Italy. He has three sisters named Vanessa, Myritza, and Summer while his elder brother Matthew Tapunu'u AnoaÊ»i aka Rosey died in April 2017.

Speaking of his education, the wrestler went to Pensacola Catholic High School followed by Escambia High School. He also studied at the Georgia Institute of Technology in 2007.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Roman Reignsâ€™ wife and children</strong></h2>
Roman Reigns has been happily married to Galina Becker since 2014 and they are proud parents of five children. The couple met each other in 2007 at the Georgia Institute of Technology and have been going strong since then. Reigns and Becker welcomed their daughter Joelle in December 2007 and they became parents to twin sons in 2016. In 2020, Galina gave birth to another set of twins.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><strong>Roman Reigns Net Worth 2024</strong></h2>
Reigns is one of the highest-paid wrestlers in WWE. According to Sports World News, the Samoan superstar has a net worth of $20 million.Â  His salary with the WWE touches $5 million annually. However, after additional perks and bonuses, it goes up quite a lot. This is not his only source of income, as he also acts in movies and has cash-rich endorsements.

Reigns earns a good amount of money by selling merchandise while he has also enjoyed endorsement deals with big brands like Pepsi, Mountain Dew, and Nike.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Roman Reignsâ€™ Career Timeline</strong></h2>
Roman didn't immediately take a liking to professional wrestling. Formerly, he was a professional football player, representing Minnesota Vikings and Jacksonville Jaguars in the National Football League in 2007. Notably, the Pensacola native was <span style="font-weight: 400">released by both football teams without having played in any regular season games.Â </span>

He later moved to professional wrestling in July 2010. Roman debuted as Roman Leakee in Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW), but the Superstar would make his main roster debut in the year 2012 as a part of The Shield, one of the most successful stables in the company's history. After the group split in 2014, Roman was quickly pushed as the face of the company and as a successor to John Cena.

However, his momentum got an enormous setback when the WWE star was diagnosed with Leukemia in the year 2018. His champion spirit would push him to make a comeback which has led him to his current status in the company. Reigns returned to WWE at SummerSlam 2020, months after preferring to stay out of in-ring action due to safety concerns during the pandemic. He introduced his heel character for the first time and received a huge reception from virtual fans.
